Locus ID: 109864281 Cytogenetics: 21p11.2 Synonyms: RNA5-8N2 Summary: 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) arrays, or clusters, are present on human chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22, designated RNR1 through RNR5, respectively. Each cluster consists of multiple 45S rDNA repeat units that vary in number among individuals and chromosomes, with total diploid copy number estimates ranging from 60 to >800 repeat units in a human genome. The 45S rDNA repeat unit encodes a 45S rRNA precursor, transcribed by RNA polymerase I, which is processed to form the 18S, 5.8S and 28S rRNAs. This gene represents a copy of the 5.8S ribosomal RNA on chromosome 21. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017] This product is to be used for laboratory only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Purpose. One of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disorder leading to retinal degeneration. While several treatment options exist for the exudative form of AMD, there are currently no FDA-approved treatments for the more common nonexudative (atrophic) form. Mounting evidence suggests that mitochondrial damage and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell death are linked to the pathogenesis of AMD. Human retinal progenitor cells (hRPCs) have been studied as a potential restorative therapy for degenerative conditions of the retina; however, the effects of hRPC treatment on retinal cell survival in AMD have not been elucidated.

Discovery of Genes Affecting Resistance of Barley to Adapted And
Douchkov et al. Genome Biology 2014, 15:518 http://genomebiology.com/2014/15/12/518 RESEARCH Open Access Discovery of genes affecting resistance of barley to adapted and non-adapted powdery mildew fungi Dimitar Douchkov1, Stefanie Lück1, Annika Johrde2, Daniela Nowara1, Axel Himmelbach1, Jeyaraman Rajaraman1, Nils Stein1, Rajiv Sharma3, Benjamin Kilian4 and Patrick Schweizer1* Abstract Background: Non-host resistance, NHR, to non-adapted pathogens and quantitative host resistance, QR, confer durable protection to plants and are important for securing yield in a longer perspective. However, a more targeted exploitation of the trait usually possessing a complex mode of inheritance by many quantitative trait loci, QTLs, will require a better understanding of the most important genes and alleles. Results: Here we present results from a transient-induced gene silencing, TIGS, approach of candidate genes for NHR and QR in barley against the powdery mildew fungus Blumeria graminis. Genes were selected based on transcript regulation, multigene-family membership or genetic map position. Out of 1,144 tested RNAi-target genes, 96 significantly affected resistance to the non-adapted wheat- or the compatible barley powdery mildew fungus, with an overlap of four genes. TIGS results for QR were combined with transcript regulation data, allele-trait associations, QTL co-localization and copy number variation resulting in a meta-dataset of 51 strong candidate genes with convergent evidence for a role in QR. Conclusions: This study represents an initial, functional inventory of approximately 3% of the barley transcriptome for a role in NHR or QR against the powdery mildew pathogen. The discovered candidate genes support the idea that QR in this Triticeae host is primarily based on pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity, which is compromised by effector molecules produced by the compatible pathogen.

Ribosomal RNA
Ribosomal RNA Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA which is the primary component of ribosomes, essential to all cells. rRNA is a ribozyme which carries out protein synthesis in ribosomes. Ribosomal RNA is transcribed from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and then bound to ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosome subunits. rRNA is the physical and mechanical factor of the ribosome that forces transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) to process and translate the latter into proteins.[1] Ribosomal RNA Three-dimensional views of the ribosome, showing rRNA in dark blue (small subunit) is the predominant form of RNA found in most cells; it makes and dark red (large subunit). Lighter colors up about 80% of cellular RNA despite never being translated represent ribosomal proteins. into proteins itself. Ribosomes are composed of approximately 60% rRNA and 40% ribosomal proteins by mass.

The length and position of these rRNA stem-loops allow them to create three-dimensional rRNA structures that are similar across species.[2] Because of these configurations, rRNA can form tight and specific interactions with ribosomal proteins to form ribosomal subunits. These ribosomal proteins contain basic residues (as opposed to acidic residues) and aromatic residues (i.e.

While meiotic pairing requires the formation of double-strand DNA breaks in some organisms, in many others it can proceed in the apparent absence of DNA breakage and recombination. The mechanistic nature of such recombination-independent pairing represents a fundamental question in molecular biology. Using “meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA” (MSUD) in the fungus Neurospora crassa as a model system, we demonstrate the existence of a cardinally new solution to the problem of inter-chromosomal homology recognition during meiosis. Here we take advantage of the unique ability of MSUD to efficiently detect and silence (by RNA interference) any relatively short DNA fragment lacking a homologous allelic partner. We show that MSUD does not require the function of eukaryotic RecA proteins and the type II topoisomerase- like protein Spo11.

Cell Hybridization and the 24 Homan Gene Maps
2 CELL HYBRIDIZATION AND THE 24 HOMAN GENE MAPS Thomas B. Shows 1. INTRODUCTION The transfer of genes is an ancient phenomenon in the biology and evolution of organisms, as is evidenced by a variety of microorganisms. In bacteria during their sexual reproductive phase, cell-to-cell transfer of single-stranded DNA has been demonstrated (Lederberg, 1947; Wollman et ai., 1956). In addition, DNA isolated from one genotype could stably change the phenotype of another bac terium (Avery et al., 1944). Similarly, the infection of bacteria by a certain bacteriophage involves transfer of phage DNA into a bacterium and integration into the bacterial genome. When phage replication takes place, the phage genome sometimes acquires a bacterial gene that was closely linked to the inserted phage genome. Subsequent bacterial infections by this phage can transfer the bacterial gene to another bacterial genome (Zinder and Lederberg, 1952; Lennox, 1955). In the life cycle offungi, the entire haploid genome is transferred by the formation of heterokaryons after fusion of hyphae from different genomes (Fincham, 1966). In eukaryotes, fertilization of an egg could be considered a form of gene transfer, since an entire haploid genome is transferred. Thus, there are biological mech anisms for cells to accept new genetic material and propagate it through cell division. Understanding the principles of gene transfer in mammals, especially Homo sapiens, will teach us much about genetic mechanisms, gene expression, cell growth and differentiation, gene mapping, mutagenesis, and both normal and abnormal human biology. This information promises to be essential for understanding and possibly treating disease. Cell fusion resulting in multinucleated mammalian cells, termed "polykar yocytes," was first observed over 100 years ago after viral infection and was thought to be the first step in tumorigenesis (Langhans, 1868).
